Meet the Artist Kristin Beck

Meet local artist Kristin Beck and hear about her her exhibit "Before I Forget" which is a series about dementia, memory , and identity.

Kristin Beck is a writer, artist, and native Floridian, which provides colorful characters along with the intense humidity. Influenced by the area’s vibrant culture, her work relies on crustacean-hued memories and is imbued with the sound of wild parrots set free by Hurricane Andrew. Beck has exhibited in nearly 50 exhibitions, including Best in Show at Girls’ Club, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and Gritty in Pink at Bailey Contemporary Arts, Pompano Beach, Fla., Last Blast at Frenchy Gallery, New Orleans, La., and Curators as Artists at Warehouse Gallery, Orlando, Fla. In 2024, she received an Artist Support grant from the Broward Cultural Division.

Artist Statement: As a multidisciplinary artist my studio practice is fueled by the color and rhythm of the subtropics combined with the love of making functional pieces, like handmade books or quilts. I am fascinated by how things are made, and the storytelling derived from learning a process, particularly ones that are passed down through generations. I create pieces using multiple mediums to broaden the visual texture of a body of work.
